Job summary

Expect a flexible schedule, active Colorado licensure, strong clinical judgment, and the ability to travel daily across the territory. We support clinicians with technology and clear productivity expectations to sustain high-quality home health care.

Qualifications

• Active Colorado PT license (in good standing).
• Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field.
• Comfortable escalating changes in condition to RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly.

• Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education.
• Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs.

Responsibilities

• Own the caseload as a case manager: you’re accountable for the patient’s therapy plan, progression, and outcomes — not just individual visits.

• Build and execute a clear plan of care: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
• Set measurable goals, track objective progress, and adjust treatment quickly when patients stall.

• Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
• Document promptly and thoroughly in CareHub — defensible, efficient, and consistent.
